After that,the festival-goers will restore the environment to exactly as it was when they arrived. La Tomatina The festival has run in August every year in Bunol,Spain since 1945,when a crowd took the tomatoes from a vegetable stand and started a food fight.The hour-long tomato fight used up to around 145,000 kg of tomatoes in 2015.Since 2013,La Tomatina has been a ticketed event to limit participants()to just 20,000.Before then,up to 50,000 guests had reportedly joined in the food fight.

B In 1899,a wealthy couple built a summer house in Maryland.Over time,the building had different uses,but today,it is part of a public performing arts campus called Strathmore complete with a nearby concert hall seating nearly 2,000 people-that has developed around that first building. Jazz singer Christie Dashiell first came to Strathmore through its artist-in-residence program. Each year,this program selects six musicians between 16 and 32 years old and helps them with lessons,performances,and career advice. "I left college having so much music,"Dashiell says."I had written so much music and I had practiced so much music.But I didn't know what an artist was and what life looked like. At Strathmore,Dashiell learned how to perform on stage,promote her music online,and plan concerts.And of course,she worked with other musicians to write songs and put on shows.It's where Dashiell says she began to find not only her vocal talents,but the unique sonic signature that defines and distinguishes()a jazz artist:her sound. Dashiell gave several concerts at Strathmore.In 2016,she released her first album in its small music room.Later,when she created her second album,Journey in Black,she performed in a bigger venue at Strathmore.Journey in Black,which came out in late 2023,tells stories of love,loss,joy and friendship-all of us can relate to that.It combines jazz with gospel, R&.B,and hip-hop.That recording has been nominated()for the Grammy Award for best jazz vocal album.It is her first Grammy nod. "It feels good to be recognized in this way,"Dashiell says."Very few artists are making music with the purpose of being nominated for a Grammy.That's definitely not where I was coming from when I was making this music.I just wanted to make music that was honest and true in a way..” 24.What is a purpose of the artist-in-residence program at Strathmore? A.To explore the century-old building. B.To build a well-developed training system. C.To offer practical education on music. D.To select winners in a music competition 25.After leaving college,Dashiell felt a sense of A.loneliness B.uncertainty C.confidence D.satisfaction 【高一期中考试题·英语第3页（共8页）】 25-T-722A 26.What can be learned about the album Journey in Black?

B.Getting a nomination for best singer. C.Winning a Grammy Award. D.Releasing albums as soon as possible. C A new study looked at data from more than 10,000 12-and 13-year-olds and their parents, who were asked about their screen-use habits,including texting,social media,video chatting, watching videos and surfing the Internet.The researchers also asked if their screen-use caused problems,like struggling to stop using screens or having trouble with school and daily life. One key finding stood out:One of the biggest factors of how much time kids spend on screens-and whether that use is problematic-is how much parents themselves use their screens when they are around their kids. "It's really important to role-model screen behaviors for your children,"says Jason Nagata,lead author of the study."Even if teens don't think they are influenced by their parents,the data shows they are." "Instead of beating ourselves up about it,"says Jenny Radesky,a researcher at the University of Michigan,"it's important for parents to realize that just like kids,we are open to the draws of technology that is purposely designed to keep us scrolling()." But even if parents are fighting against bigger forces designed to keep us glued to screens, that doesn't mean we are completely helpless.Nagata's research also looked for solutions that worked best to limit screen-use specifically among teenagers because we tend to see kids spending a lot more time on social media once they hit their teenage years. Keeping meal times and bedtime screen-free helps kids spend less time on screens. Nagata's earlier research also found that keeping screens out of bedrooms helps kids sleep better.Another key point:When parents use screens too much,kids notice that.Teens often feel their parents are distracted(往意力分散的)and unavailable because they are focused on their own phones.Given the design of technology,Radesky says the message shouldn't be to blame()the parents.The message should be to talk with your kids about why you feel so pulled in by screens. 28.What were the parents and kids asked to do during the study? A.Record their daily lives. B.Answer some questions. C.Send texts to each other. D.Have a chat with friends. 29.Who does the study show are a bigger influence on kids'screen behaviors? A.Parents. B.Teachers. C.Classmates. D.Researchers. 30.What does the underlined word"draws"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Concerns. B.Principles. C.Attractions. D.Achievements. 31.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The primary goals of Nagata's research. B.Reasons why parents act as a role model. C.The advantages of living a screen-free life. D.Strategies for limiting screen time for kids. D About 4,700 years ago,King Djoser,the first ruler of Egypt's Third Dynasty,built a pyramid in Saqqara,an ancient burial site in Egypt. 【高一期中考试题·英语第4页（共8页）】 25-T-722A No one knows exactly how the pyramid was built.It took millions of massive blocks. Some of those blocks weighed up to 2,500 kilograms.Experts have proposed several techniques- including ramps and cranes-to move such heavy stone blocks.They have also thought about rope-and-pulley devices and wooden rollers. Researchers now suggest that ancient people used a water-powered system to construct this pyramid.How?Builders would have controlled flows of water into and out of a large shaft()inside the pyramid.The water's movement would have lifted and lowered a platform that carried building stones to higher levels. This idea comes from a study led by Xavier Landreau,a scientist who researches ancient technology.The team found that a branch of the Nile River once flowed near 31 pyramids, including Djoser's.It's dried up now.But boats carrying workers and building blocks could have traveled this branch of the Nile between 3,700 and 4,700 years ago.Landreau believes designers of Djoser's pyramid developed techniques for controlling water flow. Landreau's team created a computer model using data from the pyramid,underground waterways,and satellite images of the region.The model also included a nearby structure called Gisr el-Mudir,which may have collected rainwater.During heavy rains,this area might have turned into a lake,sending water into the pyramid's shaft.Inside the shaft,a huge wooden float()may have been connected to ropes and pulleys.When water filled the shaft,the float would rise,lowering a platform to pick up stones.As the water drained(), the float would sink,pulling the platform and stones upward. Not all experts agree with this idea.Kamil Kuraszkiewicz,an Egyptologist at the University of Warsaw in Poland,questions whether the lake Gisr el-Mudir existed,as ancient records do not mention it."Building the water-powered system,"he says,"would have required much more effort than to move the stone blocks using just manpower. 32.What can we know about building the pyramid? A.Scientists have reached an agreement on it. B.Few stone blocks were transported by boat. C.There's no widely accepted explanation for it. D.Rope-and-pulley devices were the main method. 33.What does Landreau's study find? A.Waterpower likely gave a big lift to the pyramid builders. B.The branches of the Nile River were once badly polluted. C.The 3D model offers insights into the life in ancient times. D.Pyramid designers developed techniques for fighting floods. 34.What does the author want to explain in paragraph 5? A.The exact purpose of Gisr el-Mudir. B.How the water-powered system works. C.The discovery of an underground river.D.Why Djoser's pyramid was constructed. 35.What is Kamil's attitude towards the new finding? A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Unclear. D.Uncaring. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Walking has been recognized as a great form of exercise that's easy and accessible for many people,and scores of studies show the popular activity has numerous health benefits,too.However, 【高一期中考试题·英语第5页（共8页）】 25-T-722A a daily walk won't result in a healthy body,according to Melissa Boyd,a certified personal trainer and coach.36 Move in different ways Walking is great,but it's just one,unidirectional form of movement,and our bodies need more to be functionally fit.People use the muscles()in their bodies to help with all the bending and turning they do in their daily lives.37."Stretching()is quite easy,and something you can do when you wake up and before you go to bed,"Boyd said. Time for an exercise snack You'd better create a plan that different movements,such as walking and stretching,are timed throughout a week.38.However,breaking down all these different movements into exercise snacks is one way to practice the movement your body needs, "Maybe every time you get water,you do 10 push-ups against a wall.You can add these exercise snacks to something else you're already doing.39.I've seen huge success with this,”Boyd said. 40 It's helpful to keep in mind that creating an exercise plan doesn't require an immediate, massive change in your lifestyle.In fact,it's better to start slowly with easy movement. "What I usually see is that people love the way which makes them feel relaxed,"Boyd said. "Then the stronger they become,the more they want to move even more.Movement inspires movement,.” A.Start slowly and build from there B.Work out your monthly exercise plan C.That might seem impossible for many D.You will make it more of a habit over time E.So they need to stretch muscles in different directions F.It is fun enough to keep track of your training progress G.She suggests developing the following habits for overall fitness 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）】 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C,D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Robert Moore's family started planning his 100th birthday party in June,they wanted to make sure it was special.There was going to be a big family 41 of course.
